Seventy people seek treatment for food poisoning in Kerala

Thrissur: A food poisoning infection allegedly affected more than 70 people in Kerala after consuming food from a restaurant and sought treatment at various hospitals on Sunday, health officials said.

An official in the district health department said that 60 to 70 people who ate at a restaurant in the Moonnupeedika area faced discomfort after having food and sought treatment at various hospitals, none of them were in serious condition. 

Health officials suspect that the food poisoning has been derived from the mayonnaise supplied with the dish known as 'kuzhimanthi' that caused food poisoning. "The authorities have sealed the hotel following the incident," said an officer of the Kaipamangalam police station, under whose jurisdiction the incident occurred.

Police said some people were admitted to hospitals after they complained of illness due to the food poisoning.
